Jurisdiction context

Civil service jurisdiction

Discipline at this department is governed by the Title 4A civil service framework, matched to Clifton on the New Jersey Civil Service Commission roster.

Radio encryption

Clifton Police Department encrypts its radio communications (P25 AES-256, all operations), according to PoliceRadioEncryption.com, as of 2026-03-06 (unverified).

AnalysisThis site treats radio encryption as a meaningful transparency signal. When a department closes its radio traffic to the public, the public loses a real-time window into how it operates. That is context for reading the discipline and internal affairs records on this page, not a figure drawn from them.

In brief

Clifton Police Department logged 88 internal affairs investigations in 2025 involving 51 officers named in those cases. The municipal police agency in Passaic County posted a rate of 172.5 per 100 officers, above the Passaic County median of 125 and the 125.9 municipal median statewide. A rate that far above the median can reflect more misconduct or a department that documents more of the complaints it receives. Of the 88 investigations detailed for 2025, 7 reported sustained complaints. Demeanor was the leading allegation category, with Excessive Force and Differential Treatment next.

Three major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2022, 2023 and 2024, including one termination. Clifton received a C on the report card, at the 53rd percentile among 93 peers in the 60+ officers group, a high-confidence grade.

Military surplus equipment (1033 program)

In brief

Written by this site from the figures below.

For a department of its size, Clifton Police Department's federal surplus record is small: a single line item under Guns, through 30mm, shipped in 2017, with a recorded value of $1,407 in original Department of Defense acquisition cost rather than current or market value. It falls in a category this site classes as tactical. The record covers equipment received, not equipment currently held, since non-controlled items may be disposed of after one year. Receiving surplus equipment through the federal program is not misconduct, and this data is separate in origin from the Attorney General discipline records on this page. This site's Militarization Index, an analysis rather than an official statistic, puts Clifton PD at $10 per officer, in the 54th percentile among 93 agencies in the 60+ officers band, where a higher index measures program participation and not a current arsenal.

AnalysisMilitarization Index: computed by this site, not an official statistic.

Clifton Police Department received $10 of tactical 1033 equipment value per sworn officer (original cost, divided by its latest FBI-reported staffing): the 54th percentile among municipal police agencies of similar size (60+ officers, n=93).

A higher index is not automatically worse. It divides cumulative transfers over the covered window by current staffing, so it measures how intensively an agency has participated in the program, not what it holds today. See the methodology.

Investigations per 100 officers named in that year's IA investigations (the Attorney General's own "Number of Officers" field, a distinct-officer count drawn from the IA case data itself, not a department headcount). A higher number is ambiguous on its own: it can reflect more misconduct, or a stronger internal reporting culture. Medians are computed within the same agency type only.

AnalysisA second, independent rate using FBI-reported staffing instead.

88 investigations reported for 2025[1] ÷ 135 sworn officers the department reported to the FBI for 2025[23] = 65.2 per 100 FBI-reported sworn officers. This is a genuinely different denominator from the rate above, not a correction of it; the two should not be added or averaged together. See the methodology for why these two officer counts diverge.

What this grade can and can't tell you

  • The underlying data is self-reported by agencies, one yearly snapshot at a time.
  • Allegations are not findings; many complaints end unfounded, exonerated, or not sustained.
  • There is no arrest or call-volume denominator in this data, so nothing here is a per-capita misconduct rate. A genuinely independent staffing-based rate, sourced from the FBI rather than this grade's own data, appears above when available. It is a different measurement, not a more accurate version of the grade.
  • A higher internal affairs volume is ambiguous: it can indicate more misconduct, or a more robust oversight and reporting culture. The grade weighs it anyway, because volume is what the record offers; that choice is published, not hidden.
  • The grade is one lens. The records it reads are on this page above.

Fatal encounters recorded involving this agency

From the independent Fatal Encounters dataset, 2000-2021

In brief (written by this site from the records below)

Six records in the Fatal Encounters dataset name Clifton Police Department, in years from 2000 through 2020. The as-recorded level of force is listed as Vehicle in four of them and Gunshot in two. Fatal Encounters was an independent, crowdsourced journalism project that logged deaths occurring during police encounters of any kind, including vehicle pursuits and crashes, deaths by suicide in police presence, and medical emergencies. A record is not a finding of fault, and it does not say police caused the death. The project stopped collecting in December 2021, so the dataset is frozen at that point.

Fatal Encounters is an independent, crowdsourced dataset that documented deaths during police encounters nationwide from 2000 until its collection ended in December 2021.[4] It records all deaths that occurred during a police encounter of any kind: vehicle pursuits, suicides in police presence, and medical emergencies are included alongside uses of force. A record appears here because Clifton Police Departmentis named in the record's as-reported agency field. A listing is not a misconduct finding, and it is not connected to the Attorney General discipline records above. See the methodology. Each record links to its own page with the full as-reported details.

Public records requests

Records requests about this department filed through OPRAmachine, an independent site that files Open Public Records Act requests in public and publishes the responses.[5] This is a third-party, user-generated source, separate in origin from the Attorney General records elsewhere on this page.

Current as of 12 July 2026. These figures are a point-in-time snapshot and do not update: requests filed to OPRAmachine after that date do not appear here. For live activity, see this body on OPRAmachine.

This department has no separate listing on OPRAmachine. Records requests for it are handled through Clifton City, the municipal records custodian, which also fields requests about permits, property, and code enforcement. Only the 52 requests whose subject line indicates it concerns the police department are counted below. The other 173 filed to Clifton City are about something else and are not shown.

What this section can and can't tell you

  • A request is not a finding. Every entry records what a member of the public asked for. None of it establishes that an agency did anything, and none of it is an allegation this site is making.
  • Statuses come from the requester, not the agency. On OPRAmachine the person who filed the request classifies the response they got, so “successful” means they said they got what they asked for. It is not the agency's word and not an adjudication.
  • Request volume is not a measure of misconduct. A long list usually reflects public interest, local journalism, or one determined requester. A short list usually means few people have asked.
  • This covers OPRAmachine only. Most OPRA requests in New Jersey are filed directly with agencies and never appear here, so this is a floor, not a total.
  • It is frozen at 12 July 2026. The figures come from a snapshot of OPRAmachine taken on that date and nothing refreshes them, so anything filed since is missing. Treat every number here as a lower bound that is only getting further out of date.
  • The count is an undercount, by design. Requests to Clifton City are sorted by subject line, because that custodian also handles permits, property, and code enforcement. A request that is genuinely about the police but carries a vague subject line, and many do read only “OPRA Request,” is not counted here. The sorting is this site's own reading of the request titles, not a fact from the source, and it is deliberately cautious: it would rather miss a police request than show you somebody's building permit.

The match between this OPRAmachine body and this department is this site's inference, not a certified mapping. If it is wrong, we will remove it: corrections.

Questions and answers

What is a summary of Clifton Police Department's internal affairs and discipline record?

Clifton Police Department logged 88 internal affairs investigations in 2025 involving 51 officers named in those cases. The municipal police agency in Passaic County posted a rate of 172.5 per 100 officers, above the Passaic County median of 125 and the 125.9 municipal median statewide. A rate that far above the median can reflect more misconduct or a department that documents more of the complaints it receives. Of the 88 investigations detailed for 2025, 7 reported sustained complaints. Demeanor was the leading allegation category, with Excessive Force and Differential Treatment next. Three major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2022, 2023 and 2024, including one termination. Clifton received a C on the report card, at the 53rd percentile among 93 peers in the 60+ officers group, a high-confidence grade.

How many internal affairs investigations did Clifton Police Department report in 2025?

How many major discipline records does Clifton Police Department have?

Clifton Police Department has 3 major discipline records in the Attorney General's 2020-2025 releases, of which 1 were terminations. These are final, adjudicated actions, not allegations.

Does Clifton Police Department encrypt its radio communications?

According to PoliceRadioEncryption.com, Clifton Police Department encrypts all of its radio communications (P25 AES-256), as recorded on 2026-03-06. This site treats radio encryption as a transparency signal, which is analysis, not a figure from the discipline data.

How many officers does Clifton Police Department have?

Clifton Police Department reported 135 full-time sworn officers to the FBI's Law Enforcement Employees census for 2025, 6.7% of them female. That is 1.49 sworn officers per 1,000 residents. This is a different measurement from the "officers named in IA cases" figure elsewhere on this page, which counts distinct officers in that year's internal affairs investigations, not total staffing.

Clifton Police Department received 1 recorded line items of surplus military equipment through the Defense Department's 1033 program in 2017, with a total recorded value of $1,407 (original DoD acquisition cost, not current or market value). The largest category by recorded value was: Guns, through 30mm. Transfers are as recorded by the Defense Logistics Agency as of 2026-06-30; equipment acquired through the program is not necessarily still held.

How many deaths during police encounters are recorded for Clifton Police Department?

The independent Fatal Encounters dataset contains 6 records naming Clifton Police Department, from 2000 through 2020. Fatal Encounters is a crowdsourced journalism project, not a government source, and it documented deaths that occurred during police encounters of any kind. Each record links to a page showing it exactly as the project recorded it.

What does Clifton Police Department pay its officers compared with local school staff?

The median pensionable salary for the 173 active Clifton Police Department officers in the NJ Treasury pension file is $112,157. The median for the 1,171 TPAF-enrolled staff at CLIFTON CITY BD OF ED is $84,989, a ratio of 1.32x. Against the Passaic County school-staff median the ratio is 1.25x. These are pensionable base salaries: they exclude overtime, stipends, longevity and leave payouts for both groups, and a school contract year and a police work year are different lengths. TPAF covers certificated school staff, not only classroom teachers.
